LSU to face Arkansas in primetime on the road in Week 8

LSU will face Arkansas in Fayetteville at 6 p.m. CT on ESPN.

The game time and television network have now been announced for LSU’s road trip to face Arkansas in Week 8, and it will be a primetime matchup between former SEC West rivals.

This year’s Battle for the Golden Boot will kick off at 6 p.m. CT and air on ESPN.

While this wasn’t a game LSU had circled as one of its tougher matchups heading into the season, it could be a potential trap game as it’s sandwiched between games against ranked opponents in Ole Miss and Texas A&M. The Razorbacks are coming off a huge upset win as they knocked off No. 4 Tennessee at home on Saturday night.

Brian Kelly is 2-0 against Arkansas as the Tigers head coach, but both games have been sweats as LSU won each by just three points.
